3. SAFETY RULES

1.  To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure 

electricity has been turned off at the 
circuit breaker or fuse box before 
beginning.

2.   All wiring must be in accordance with the 

National Electrical Code and local 
electrical codes. Electrical installation 
should be performed by a qualified 
licensed electrician.

3. 

WARNING:

 To reduce the risk of electrical 

shock and fire, do not use this fan with 
any solid-state fan speed control device.

4. 

WARNING:

 To reduce the risk of personal 

injury, use only the two steel screws (and 
lock washers) provided with the outlet 
box for mounting to the outlet box. Most 
outlet boxes commonly used for the 
support of lighting fixtures are not 
acceptable for fan support and may need 
to be replaced, consult a qualified 
electrician if in doubt.

5.  The outlet box and support structure must 

be securely mounted and capable of 
reliably supporting a minimum of 50 
pounds. Use only CUL Listed outlet boxes 
marked

 "FOR FAN SUPPORT".

6.  The fan must be mounted with a minimum 

of 7 feet clearance from the trailing edge 
of the blades to the floor.

7.   Do not operate reversing switch while fan 

blades are in motion. Fan must be turned 
off and blades stopped before reversing 
blade  direction.

8.   Avoid placing objects in the path of the 

blades.

9.   To avoid personal injury or damage to the 

fan and other items, be cautious when 
working around or cleaning the fan.

10.  Do not use water or detergents when 

cleaning the fan or fan blades.  A dry dust 
cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be 
suitable for most cleaning.

11. After marking electrical connections, 

spliced conductors should be turned 
upward and pushed carefully up into 
outlet box. The wires should be spread 
apart with the grounded conductor and 
the equipment-grounding conductor on 
one side of the outlet box.

12.  Electrical diagrams are reference only. 

Light kit that are not packed with the fan 
must be CUL Listed and marked suitable 
for use with the model fan you are 
installing. Switches must be CUL General 
Use Switches. Refer to the Instructions 
packaged with the light kits and switches 
for proper assembly.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC 

SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN 

TO OUTLET BOX MARKED 

"ACCEPTABLE 

FOR FAN SUPPORT".

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, 

DO NOT BEND THE BLADE BRACKETS (ALSO 

REFERRED TO AS FLANGES) DURING 

ASSEMBLY OR AFTER INSTALLATION. DO NOT 

INSERT OBJECTS IN THE PATH OF THE BLADES.

ATTENTION

 

Under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, 

federal regulations require all ceiling fans 

with light kits manufactured or imported 

after January 1, 2009, to limit the total 

wattage consumed by the light kit to 190 

watts. Therefore, this product is equipped 

with a 190W limiting device. If lamping 

exceeds 190 watts, the light kit will shut 

off automatically until the proper wattage 

of bulbs are installed. Reset the light kit by 

turning it off, replacing the bulbs with the 

correct wattage, and then turning the 

light kit back on.
